Where is the subject?
Hi guys, as the photo shows, where is the subject in the underlined sentence?
Thanks in advance!

Or would the indicative also work here? "The head of phlebology was of the opinion that conservative treatment was also possible, but that compression stockings would have to be worn around the clock, without missing a single day. Furthermore, conservative treatment would only prevent worsening; improvement would not be possible this way, so possible congestion…
Question is above, thanks in advance and best regards!
We're taking a German exam soon in which we have to analyze a short story. If I have to use a time from the text for the synopsis, can I just write the numbers or do I have to spell out the time?
I have a question about understanding the prepositions. When I have to write about a topic, I'm sometimes unsure about the prepositions. Here are a few examples: 1) The reporter is at war and is reporting on it. 2) The user is missing the licenses. I'll take care of them. 3) The author has thought…
I have a question. I wrote a term paper and got a lot of input from the lecture notes. I read through the texts from the lecture notes and rewrote them in my term paper. Would I be committing plagiarism if I rewrite the texts anyway?
Can you say, "A video would bring primarily positive qualities"? Often, wouldn't you say that? Is it grammatically correct?
“Maybe you will be warm in this situation.” This is often omitted.
If you change the parts of the sentence, it must stay.
You’ll probably be warm.
But the “ES” in passive forms is much more interesting.
A lot of wine is drunk on the Moselle.
A lot of wine is drunk on the moss. (Here it must fall off)
Buy a good grammar book (medium). Read a lot of German, listen to radio, TV in German. Listening to what other people say – with the time you learn the peculiarities of the German language by yourself. Can take up to 20 years;-)
This is actually a subjectless sentence. One could think of an impersonal “it” in the sentence (… it will warm you…), but it does not have to be used. The sentence also works in German, without subject.
“You can’t help” is e.g. also subjectless. Such sentences are not so rare.
Thank you. German is very difficult.

You can also say: German is very difficult for me.
Is an idiomatic expression.
Why fall?
The subject would actually be “it”. (“It will warm you in this situation.”
However, this was omitted here.
That’s what I mean. But why is it left?
Stylistic means. It sounds better. The sentence works like that.
Thank you.
The sentence is, “Perhaps you will be warm in this situation.”
Where’s the subject? Good question. There is no acting subject that “powers”, nothing that stands in the nominative.
And the verb is “become” or “bewarm”.
The person who is supposedly warm is in the Dativ: Who is warm? She’s passive, something happens to her. And there’s no perpetrator.
If I had to decide what word is most likely to be a subject, I would choose “been”.
Since “been” is in the Dativ, it cannot be the subject.
I see this problem. But then either the sentence has no subject, or it is a silent, unnamed subject called “es”:
Probable [es] You warm in this situation.”
Who or what will you warm in this situation?
After the subject you always ask “who or what”. So ask it – and you know it.
Where is the subject?
… laugh: Did it hide?
Yes, sorry, I mean “without subject.” I prescribed. The predicate is “is”.
Without a predicate? You mean, without subject. The predicate here is “help”.
Such statements with “ever” and “principal” are to be enjoyed with caution. In most cases, sentences have a subject and a predicate. There are exceptions:

And the sentence of the questioner is such an exception.
Or remember:
Help me!
You can’t help.
All without predicate, sentences are still. So please be careful with such basic statements.
But my teacher taught me that differently. And he knew what he did.
No, there are sentences without subject.
Then it wouldn’t be a sentence. Right? Well – in itself it is also a question – and no sentence.
A sentence basically consists of a subject and a verb. Otherwise, it’s Umgan’s language.
The sentence is subjectless.
